Washington left the workforce’s Aug. 16 apply early with an undisclosed damage, and he hadn’t been noticed usually on the facility within the weeks since. It’s doable he wants a four-week relaxation on injured reserve to heal up and intention for an early-season return, however at this level we simply don’t know. For what it’s value, the Saints didn’t launch Washington with an damage designation, as is typical in these strikes to IR, so he might simply be transferring on. He may very well be transferring right down to the apply squad. So keep tuned for updates on this entrance.
In any occasion: the operating backs left on the 53-man roster embrace Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram II, and Tony Jones Jr., together with fullback Adam Prentice. The one runners on the apply squad are fullback/tight finish J.P. Holtz and large receiver Kirk Merritt, who received some snaps within the backfield late in the summertime.
